Christ is the very essence of all delights and pleasures, the very soul and substance of them. As all the rivers are gathered into the ocean, which is the meeting-place of all the waters in the world, so Christ is that ocean in which all true delights and pleasures meet. - John Flavel (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o) Power is Gods hand or arm, omniscience is Gods eye, mercy is Gods delight, eternity is Gods duration, but holiness is Gods beauty! - Stephen Charnock (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o) They who love any thing better than Christ are not worthy of him. - Covenanter field Minister James Renwick, on the day of his martyrdom (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o) Prayer keeps the heart open to God -- but shut to sin. - Thomas Watson (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o) Unfathomable oceans of grace are in Christ for you. Dive and dive again -- you will never come to the bottom of these depths! - Robert Murray McCheyne (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o).

The heart is the fomenter of sin. It mints evil thoughts-and blows up the coals of fiery passions. It is the Trojan horse out of which comes a whole army of lusts! Shall we not fight the good fight, and discharge with the fire of zeal against this bosom traitor, the flesh! The primitive Christians chose rather to be destroyed by lions without-than by lusts within! - Thomas Watson (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o) The sinner may live in a calm--but he will die in a storm of wrath! - Thomas Watson (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o) The enjoyment of [God] is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of earthly friends, are but shadows; but God is the substance. - Jonathan Edwards (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o) We trust as we love, and where we love. If we love Christ much, surely we shall trust him much. - Thomas Brooks (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o) Let no man think to kill sin with few, easy, or gentle strokes. He who hath once smitten a serpent, if he follow not on his blow until it be slain, may repent that ever he began the quarrel. And so he who undertakes to deal with sin, and pursues it not constantly to the death. - John Owen, on the Puritan Hard Drive (on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o) I lay down this maxime of Divinitie; Tyranny being a worke of Sathan, is not from God, because sinne either habituall or actuall, is not from God; the power that is, must be from God; the Magistrate as Magistrate, is good, in nature of office, and the intrinsecall end of his office, Rom. 13:4. for he is the Minister of God for thy good; and therefore a power ethicall, politick, or morall, to oppresse, is not from God, and is not a power, but a licentious deviation of a power, and is no more from God, but from sinfull nature, and the old serpent, then a license to sinne. - Samuel Rutherford, Lex Rex (1644), on the Puritan Hard Drive ow.ly/fPY4o Another instance in which posterity is recognized in covenant obligation is found in Joshua 9:15. This covenant was made between the children of Israel and the Gibeonites. Between four and five hundred years after that time, the children of Israel are visited with a very severe famine, in the days of David. 2 Sam. 21:1. And it is expressly declared by the Lord that, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. And at the same time, v. 2, that very covenant is recognized, and the breach of it is stated, as being the formal reason of the divine displeasure. Now, had it not been for this covenant, the extirpation of the Gibeonites would not have been imputed to Israel as a thing criminal; for they were comprehended in Canaanitish nations, which God had commanded them to root out. - William L.

The knowledge of Christ is the Christians excellency above the Heathen (1 Cor. 1:23, 24). Practical and saving knowledge of Christ is the sincere Christians excellency above the self-cozening hypocrite (Heb. 6:4, 6). But methodical and well-digested knowledge of Christ is the strong Christians excellency above the weak (Heb. 5:12, 13, 14). A saving, though an immethodical knowledge of Christ, will bring us to heaven (John 17:2) but a regular and methodical, as well as a saving knowledge of him, will bring heaven to us (Col. 2:2, 3). For such is the excellency thereof, even above all other knowledge of Christ, that it renders the understanding judicious, the memory tenacious, and the heart highly and fixedly joyous (1:21). - John Flavel, The Fountain of Life Opened Up: A Display of Christ in His Essential and Mediatorial Glory from Flavels Six Volume Works on the PURITAN HARD DRIVE, bit.ly/ci3g2z.

Mencarow bit.ly/ci3g2z The Church of the Covenanters has a precious inheritance. The achievements of the past, the privileges of the present, and the victories of the future-all, all are hers, if she be faithful. The Old Blue Banner leads to the world-wide triumph of the principles it represents. This is no presumption; it is a foregone conclusion, the very language of logic. The certainty is based on Gods revealed purpose, and glows in the richest hues of prophecy. Humility forbids boasting; we have not said that the Covenanted Church shall have this honor. But the Banner of the Covenant, by whomsoever borne, will surely be glorified with victory, as Jesus Christ, the great Captain, leads His conquerors to universal conquest. - J.C.

Now, Christians, the more great and glorious things you expect from God, as the downfall of antichrist, the conversion of the Jews, the conquest of the nations to Christ, the breaking of all yokes, the new Jerusalems coming down from above, the extraordinary pouring out of the Spirit, and a more general union among all saints, the more holy, yea, the more eminently holy in all your ways and actings it becomes you to be. - Thomas Brooks, The Crown and Glory of Christianity, 1662, Complete Works (on the Puritan Hard Drive), 1867, p. 444, on the Puritan Hard Drive, bit.ly/ci3g2z..

Reed shows how Frame has abandoned the Reformation, both scripturally and confessionally, in regard to worship. He also gives an excellent summary of historic Reformed views and then contrasts them with the novel ideas now being touted by Frame. Some one will therefore ask me what counsel I would like to give to a believer who thus dwells in some Egypt or Babylon where he may not worship God purely, but is forced by the common practice to accommodate himself to bad things. The first advice would be to leave [i.e. relocate - GB] if he could... If someone has no way to depart, I would counsel him to consider whether it would be possible for him to abstain from all idolatry in order to preserve himself pure and spotless toward God in both body and soul. Then let him worship God in private (at home - ed.), praying him to restore his poor church to its right estate. - John Calvin, Come Out From Among Them, The Anti-Nicodemite Writings of John Calvin, Protestant Heritage Press, A Short Treatise, pp. 93-94, emphases added.

The emphasis of the great apostle throughout this chapter is on forsaking the traditions and commandments of men, and rather clinging to Christ and His commandments, for in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge . . in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power (Col 2:3,9-10). Dear ones, you are not complete in yourself or in any man-made ceremonies in worship. You are complete, made full and acceptable through His work on your behalf. He is the head of the church, not you or me. He is our Prophet, Priest, and King. He alone directs our worship and presents it acceptable to the Father. Paul infers that to practice any will-worship (or self-imposed religion Col. 2:23) according to the commandments and doctrines of men (Col. 2:22) is to undermine the finished work of Christ (Col. 2:11-23) and to seek to usurp the headship over the church that rightly belongs to Christ (Col. 2:8-10,18-19). Self-imposed worship (i.e. any religious act, gesture, symbol, or ceremony in worship) is expressly condemned by Christ and His apostles. It is in fact false worship which no Christian should tolerate in the house of God without a verbal protest to the leadership and separation from this false worship until there is biblical reformation in worship (The sins forbidden in the second commandment are, all devising, counselling, commanding, using, and any wise approving, any religious worship not instituted by God himself (The Larger Catechism, Question 109). - Greg Price, Foundation for Reformation: The Regulative Principle of Worship, free online atswrb/newslett/actualNLs/REFORMATION-RPW-GP.htm(ow.ly/fPY4o) The Puritan Hard Drive is a remarkable accomplishment!

Over the last 9 months, we have read and listened to so many Puritan, Reformed and Baptist books and sermons that we constantly thank the Lord for putting into our hands resources which are far above rubies. We use the Puritan Hard Drive (PHD) material throughout the day for personal bible study, family worship, home schooling, Lords Day preparation, and redeeming our time while traveling (listening to the MP3 resources).

ON WORSHIP AND HIS INTERPRETIVE MAXIMALISM REFUTED sermonaudio/go/147044 Summary: How Satan Corrupts The Worship of God! This whole MP3 series contains very important messages about how Satan is corrupting the worship of God in our day, using men (like James Jordan, John Frame, Doug Wilson, Steve Schlissel, Jeffrey Meyers, Vern Poythress, et al.) who claim some connections to the Reformed faith, but who, in reality, teach principles of worship much closer to Rome and the Papacy than to the Reformation and the best Reformers. To find out why John Calvin would have excommunicated both John Frame and James Jordan, given the idolatrous nature of their beliefs and public teaching regarding worship, please see swrb/newslett/actualNLs/frameexc.htm.
